Keith Richards
My father was working in Antigua and most nights he used to frequent a local bar, one evening he didn’t join his co workers and the next day they told him how Eric Clapton had been there chatting away and buying drinks for everyone. My father called in a few nights later wondering if he might run into Eric but instead sat down at the bar and within half an hour was asked if the seat next to him was taken by Keith Richards, being a massive Rolling Stones fan my father said no and offered to buy him a drink, instead Keith bought my father drinks all night, regaled him with tales of rock and roll debauchery and they even exchanged phone numbers (to this day I proudly own an autographed beer coaster signed by the man himself … even though I much prefer The Beatles).

Also last summer my father was at a boat show in Monaco when Bono walked merrily past him, my father asked if he could have his picture taken with the Irish, political pop star, Bono said he couldn’t and kept walking so my father grabbed onto the short arse and basically made him pose next to him. My father has the picture in his study and it’s great if only for the fact you can clearly see how uncomfortable Bono looks in it and how my father is holding the fucker in place whilst they both grin for the camera. My father also gave Bono my bands website address and the miserable bastard still hasn’t signed our guestbook
